• Mix all ingredients, down to Ribs in airtight container.
• (Mrs Dash original blend zarr changes it to what you see above).
• Seal and set aside, (it will make 6 cups and you only need 1 cup).
• The night before smoking, trim off excess fat.
• Place in large plastic bag and pour in Italian dressing to coat.
• Seal bag well and chill 4 hours, turning occasionally.
• Remove and wipe off dressing.
• Sprinkle each rib with pepper, then 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the onion flakes,.
• NOTE: ingredient list said minced, instructions said flakes- you choose.
• Wrap each rib in plastic and refrigerate over night.
• The next morning remove from wrap and wipe sludge off ribs.
• Generously coat front and back of the ribs with 1 cup rib rub using your hands, rub seasoning into meat and set aside.
• The Smoking process will take 6 hours.
• Using a chimney charcoal starter get 15 briquetts red hot. Place coals on one end of the grill and place 1 pound of green hickory around coals. Using water-soaked hickory chunks if you can't get fresh cut hickory.
• Keep internal temperature of grill at 200-225°F Add more charcoal and hickory chunks every hour as needed.
• Place ribs bone side down but not directly over hot coals.
• After 3 hours, remove ribs from grill and wrap in aluminum foil.
• Hold in covered grill at 180-200°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until fork tender.
• Next build a real hot bed of coals over the entire bottom of grill.
• Place ribs back on grill to add char flavor.
• When meat becomes bubbly it its done.
• Make sure to char off the bone side membrane until it becomes paper-y and disintegrates.
• Slather with BBQ sauce. let heat caramelize sauce.
• This caramelizing along with the charring and slow cooking is the secret to tender smokey ribs just like the Championship pitmasters used to do down in the Deep South.
• There are no short cuts to this time-honored way of barbecuing. Dave.
